World's Biggest Small Group Podcast

With host Pastor David guiding honest, thoughtful conversations rooted in Scripture and shaped by real life.

  • How do I make sense of the Bible? 
  • Is Jesus really the only way to Heaven? 

A new episode posts every Monday, so whether you’re new to the podcast or returning, we invite you to listen in as we learn together what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday moments.
